I do not own Naruto. T-T

Chapter 9: Memories

I had a weird dream that night. No, I had a memory. I woke up at around 3:00 AM with a weird feeling. I felt something unlock in my head and the next thing I knew I was in front of the academy. I saw Team Guy, Team 8 (with Sakura instead of Shikamaru) and Team 10 walk in. The words 'Joint chunin exams' kept playing in my head. Next, I was traveling to a place near Sunagakure where I saw teams running in the desert. I heard the words 'traitor' and 'conspirators' and even 'Akatsuki'.

Then it was all over. I was back in my bed panting for breath and slightly sweating.

What just happened?

Then I realized that it was a memory that I had forgotten. A memory that was about to happen.

'So that's why Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari are in the village.'

I went downstairs to get a drink of water then laid down on the couch, thinking about what I should do.

Later that morning, around 8, I ran up to the Hokage's office. I only had to go through a few guards. Kinda interesting really. I knocked on the door and waited. A few seconds later I heard Tsunade say, "Come in!"

I opened the door and walked in. Tsunade was sitting at her desk while Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro were standing in front of it. I noticed that they had their traveling bags with them.

'They must be about to head home.'

"Is there something wrong Tibi?" Tsunade asked.

I shook my head, "No but something interesting happened to me last night that I think you guys should know about."

"What's that?" Temari voiced.

"Well, to put it frankly, I had a memory last night. Of the joint chunin exams you guys are about to do." I began.

"How do you know about that? Only we and a few others should know about the exams." Kankuro stated.

"Like I just said, I had a memory. I don't remember everything but I remember the basics. It's a joint exam between Suna and Konoha to help lure out the traitors, conspirators, and even the Akatsuki." I explained. I looked at everyone and noticed their shocked faces.

"I wasn't kidding when I said I knew a lot about this world. It's a shame that I've forgotten most of it."

Tsunade spoke, "So you know of the Akatsuki?"

I thought for a moment. "All I can remember right now is that they are a group of powerful criminals who seem to be targeting the tailed beasts. I don't remember why. Two of the members are Itachi Uchiha and Kisame."

Tsunade nodded. "Correct. It's interesting that you have spontaneously remembered this now. Your powers, as Gaara explained to me yesterday, are also interesting. I didn't expect you to be able to use Yin-Yang."

"I didn't expect it either." I said rubbing my neck.

"So is this all you needed to tell us?"

"I also wanted to ask you something, can I participate in these exams?" I asked.

Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. Kankuro was the first to speak. "You do realize that you are barely on Genin level plus you don't have a team or a sensei or anything like that."

I laughed. "I didn't mean as a ninja. I meant that I would like to oversee the exams. Be in the academy when the written exam is passed out and go to Suna with everyone else for the second and third stage and so forth."

"Absolutely not." Tsunade voiced.

"Please Tsunade! What if I had another memory? I could help you guys." I said.

"She does have a point." Gaara, who was quiet up to this point, voiced.

"It is still a no. What if the enemy finds out that she knows the future? They could kidnap her and use her against us."

"Please Tsunade I beg you! Please please please!" I pleaded.

"No!"

"Please please please please!"

"I said no!"

"Please with a cherry on top!"

"What? I mean NO!"

"Plllleeeeeaaaasssseeee!"

"FINE!" she slammed her fist on the desk causing a nice crack to appear.

"Yay! Thank you thank you thank you!" I jumped up and down in happiness.

Tsunade sighed and sat back in her chair, "You are just as bad as Naruto…."

I smirked, "You say that like it's a bad thing."

She smiled and chuckled. Gaara, Temari, and Kankuro were also smiling at that statement.

"Go back to your house. I will give you details about what you will do in the exams as I figure it out." Tsunade said.

I nodded happily, "Yes ma'am!" I bowed to her and smiled at Gaara and his siblings. I left the room very very happy.

For the next month I trained hard. I worked on my chakra control, weapon skills, and taijutsu mostly. Lee helped me with my taijutsu when he could. Tenten helped me train with weapons and Sakura helped with chakra control. By the end of the month I was progressing very well. I could walk up trees and jump around relatively well. I still had some trouble walking on water but that was okay. I could also hold my own against Lee (when he wasn't actually trying) and hold and throw kunai and shuriken without accidentally stabbing myself.

At one point I decided to go to the library and look at books about yin-yang. I only found three and they each said that meditation was very helpful with strengthening the yin side and taijutsu to strengthen the yang side. I was already working on my taijutsu so I just added meditation into my schedule. Hinata and even Neji a few times came by my house to meditate with me and give me pointers. I soon found that mediation didn't just help me chakra-wise but it also helped calm me and give me time to just rest.

One time while I was meditating on a rock by the stream near my house I had something happen. I was feeling my chakra go through my body. I felt the yin in my left hand and the yang in my right. I clapped my hands together when suddenly my chakra flared up. Some of it came out of my hands in a white-pinkish color but instantly disappeared. I tried this again and it did the same thing for a bit longer before it disappeared once more.

'I wonder what this means?' I thought.

I also persuaded Lady Tsunade to assign me basic D-rank missions around the village. I enjoyed finding lost pets, babysitting, painting fences, helping older people, and such. It helped with my training as well as getting to know the village more. Plus, the money I got from them helped me get food, things for me and the house, and start paying my rent.

Turns out the landlords of my home are an elderly couple who had built the house for their newlywed daughter and son-in-law. However, the couple wished to be closer to town so the elders decided to put the house up for rent in order to have some spare money around. They were very kind with me.

In addition to everything else, I decided to keep my own journal to not only write down my daily life but to also write down all of my memories including the ones from the original series. I wrote it in English so that no one can read its secrets even if someone stole it. Yeah, I can speak and write Japanese as if I've known it my whole life. I've retained my knowledge of English and still continue to think in the language.

By the end of the month I wondered if Tsunade forgot me until I received a letter from her stating my job in the exams. I am to be with Temari and Shikamaru during the first stage and go to the Demon Desert in Suna with Temari for the other stages. There, I will be with Gaara until everything is clear then return home with the rest of the Konoha shinobi when it's all over. I agreed with that.

And that is how I ended up in the front of the academy beside Shikamaru and Temari waiting to go inside. Let the Chunin exams begin!

I'm typing this at almost midnight. That's how much I want to get this chapter done. Is it just me or does a lot of authors seem to post chapters at almost midnight…?

Anyways, I thought about something that blew my own mind. In this story I have it where people subconsciously know about other universes. What if all fanfictions and such are us actually subconsciously knowing about alternate/parallel universes to that one universe?

Also, it seems like quite a few of you want to see Tibi and Gaara get together….. *dun dun dun*
